I have very active ra in my fingers. I type or write for 8 hours a day. So far the medications are not working very well. While I am typing my hands freezes up and I can’t move them. Then I take a break and have to run warm water over them to get them to start moving again. I might have to do this three or four times while I am at worrk. I s there any other thing that I can do besides the warm water and alot of breaks?

I am 37 years old. I have been diagnosed with gout and psoriatic arthritis. The doctor said I should start remicade therapy. Will I have to take it always, is it dangerous?

My brother has psoriatic arthritis ( and so do I). I am currently on Remicade and it is working great. My brother on the other hand is getting worse and worse. The Remicade is not working for him. As a matter of fact, he was told he developed anti bodies to Remicade. Is there anything that can be done for him. He just got admitted to the hospital this morning.

I am taking Plaquenil,Methotrexate, Prednisone, and NSIAD for my RA and My doctor wants to add Enbrel. The meds that I am on now are not help very much. My doctor says that my RA is still very active. If I try Enbrel and if that don’t work, then what is next? Is there any new treatments out there now?

I have RA and Plaquenil just got added to NSAID, MTX, and Prednisone. I am taking 400mg of Plaquenil, 20mg MTX, and 10mg Prednisone. I have only taken the Plaquenil for four days and every day I have a headache. It is not like a regular headache. It feels like someone has their hands on top of my head and pushing down on my head. Like I have pressure on the top of my head. I nver had this before. Could this be a side effect of the Plaquenil and does it normaly go away after I take it for a while?

Hi, I’m 24, and have been on remicade for over a year now for Ulcerative Colitis. I’d like to know if it is safe to take remicade during your pregnancy. Can you help?
